I'm not a fan of loans, developing other club's youngsters rather than our own. Lookman is a pacey 19 year old central striker. We have our own pacey 20 year old central striker who has won Premier League academy player of the month and who we have given a new two and a half year contact to just six months ago (while he was on his way back from injury, but he's back from injury now).

We wouldn't get Lookman without guarantees on his playing time making it even harder for any of our own to come through. I would far rather give Offrande Zanzala a chance to prove himself first, say start him against Grimsby, than block his path to the match squad for the whole of this coming season. Someone like Rashford was well down the pecking order at Man Utd but seized his chance when it arrived. Our players simply aren't getting that chance so we will never know whether they'd seize it or not.

Right with you on that Carl. What is the point of having Elsnik, Lowe, Zanzale and others if they don't get a sniff of the big time.

these lads need to be on the bench by now or playing in early rounds of the cup. Otherwise why have an academy. How are we going to bring them on if they don't get a toe dipped in the water to see if they have the "right stuff" 

It wont always work but if we can raise one every year or so it is free money and a huge boost for everyone's moral

The three you list should all be in the first team by now although max is made of glass and seems to crack every time he grabs his chance. 

Lookman ... no chance ... playing for Everton in Europe he ain't going nowhere

Here you go again with the Zanzala for England stuff. He's coming back from injury but even so it's quite clear that atm he's not good enough bar his pace.
